Anyone out there?
for humor I do soft shoe
(or burlesque on toe)...

oh.. I was a bit late with this I see.. I.F... you choose...

.. Jack, I liked yours... where'd it go???..

a burlesque on toe
for the gentle man who side
steps for a belle fleur

. . . . . . . (I wanted to say steps aside for but syllables didn't work)

steps for a belle fleur
Scarlett trips, careens to floor
Rhett... don't give a damn

Jack left:

Jack, you have left us
only a lonely little
period standing... ?

Sorry Lizzy, I'll re-post yours here for the next poet :

steps for a belle fleur
Scarlett trips, careens to floor
Rhett... don't give a damn

Rhett... don't give a damn
Cause Scarlett is laughing on
her place on the floor

her place on the floor
Isadora Duncan owned
new freedom in dance

new freedom in dance
Aborigines unfenced
now safe from the law

now safe from the law
free to live in the prisons
of city and town

of city and town
ancestors knew deception
campfires unfound

campfires unfound,
hidden (even from the moon)
mysteriously

mysteriously
Jack threw up at Geoffrey's crimes
such a sick o phant

such a sycophant
looking up from the fawning
startled by the sky


[Lizzy, I was fawning over your account of the 2005 Hydra trip, totally unaware that the sky in front of me had gone from black to startling orange while I was in the virtual world. Lovely to read your words, which rose to the surface of the forum because of some random posting (quickly removed ,it seems, by the moderators, since your thread "Hydra through my Eyes". sank from new postings back down to obscurity and I had trouble finding it again).]
